Mark Gorton is a prominent financier and a respected entrepreneur. He founded the music sharing site Limewire, and he runs Tower Research, a famed high-frequency trading firm. Gorton also believes that the "ruthless" secret cabal that assassinated JFK and planned 9/11 could be coming to kill his family.

Mark Gorton does not have a reputation as a crackpot. Quite the opposite. He's been favorably profiled in the New York Times for his business acumen and charitable deeds. His experience as the head of Limewire—which disrupted the music industry and then lost a $100 million lawsuit as a result—was closely followed by the press. And when Michael Lewis's blockbuster new book about high frequency trading was published recently, prominent media outlets turned to Gorton to learn what HFT firms are really like. The Huffington Post even dubbed him "the new face of Wall Street." He is a very respected and very wealthy man.

Tower is one of the oddest organizations I've encountered. The offices are designed to look like home. Gardens abound, a working kitchen, a collection of expensive wine, beers in every fridge. But visitors are usually escorted around the facility by what can only be described as Hypster Stepford Wives. One of the first people you will meet with, regardless of why you're there, is someone from their Legal team. I've been there a couple of times and although everyone is generally nice, the place gives me the creeps. What they do isn't making the world a better place, it's not some higher calling, but many of them believe they are a part of something we mere mortals cannot fully grasp. It doesn't surprise me one bit their leader is prone to conspiracy theories
